Alonso's vibrant Chelsea beat Brighton, Fernandes hits hat-trick for Man Utd

Chelsea and Brighton face off at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with both teams aiming to capitalize on their respective unbeaten starts to the Premier League season. Brighton has won their last three league meetings against Chelsea by exactly three goals, a streak that would be repeated if they manage another three-goal victory on Sunday.

Chelsea, who finished 10th last season, saw the departure of manager Enzo Maresca and subsequent sack of Liam Rosenior. New manager Xabi Alonso has secured both of his first matches, including a 3-2 win at Fulham with the fastest goal in Premier League opening-weekend history.

Danny Welbeck, signed from Brighton this summer, is the leading scorer in this fixture's history with six goals, four of which came at Stamford Bridge. Brighton's all-time Premier League top goalscorer, Danny Welbeck, remains Brighton's record Premier League goalscorer with 46 in 176 appearances. Chelsea's team news includes Moisés Caicedo, who hopes to return after a training injury, and Jordan Henderson recovering from a wrist injury sustained during England's World Cup win.

Wesley Fofana is available after serving his ban, and Enzo Fernández may again be left out due to Manchester City transfer speculation.

For Brighton, Jack Hinshelwood and Georginio Rutter are doubts due to training injuries. Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Stefanos Tzimas, and Evan Ferguson are long-term absentees. Brighton has won eight of their last 13 Premier League games, a run that surpasses only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United in points terms since February 21. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, with kick-off at 14:00 BST.
